Biblical Reflections ( 1 Jonh 10,11-18, Psalm 118)

Antoni BigCuore *(Sp.sp.
04/28/12, Sunday, at 9.21 hrs.)Brothers and sisters in
Christ, good morning! May grace, peace and
joy flood your hearts!Below
are the scriptures for our Sunday
reflection:READING OF THE ACTS
OF THE APOSTLES:In
those days, 8Pedro, filled with the Holy Spirit, said: "Heads of the people and
elders: 9hoje are being questioned for having done good to the sick and the way
it was cured. 10Ficai
therefore, knowing all of you and all the people of Israel, is the name of Jesus
Christ of Nazareth, - one whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead -
the man is cured before you.11Jesus
is the stone which you builders, despised, and that became the cornerstone.
12in
there is no other salvation, because there is no other name under heaven given
among men whereby we must be saved. "- Word of the Lord.- Thank
God.The
stone which the builders rejected / has now become the
cornerstone.-
The stone which the builders rejected / has now become the
cornerstone.-
Praise the Lord, for He is good! / "His mercy endures forever!" / It is better
to take refuge in the Lord / of what humans put in the hope ;/ is better to take
refuge in the Lord, / than counting with the powerful of
this world!-
I give you thanks, O Lord, because I heard / and have become the savior for me!
/ The stone which the builders rejected / has now become the cornerstone. / For
the Lord is that all this was done marvels that ;/ it made our eyes!-
Blessed be, in the name of the Lord, / the one who will enter his courts! / You
are my God, I bless and thank you! / You are my God, I extol with praises! /
Praise the Lord, because he is good! / "His
mercy endures forever!"GOSPEL
ACCORDING TO JOHN, Chapter 10, verses 11 18:At that time, Jesus
said: 11 "I am the good shepherd. The
good shepherd lays down his life for his sheep.12The
hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming,
leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf attacks and scatters. 13Pois
it is just a mercenary who does not care about the ovellhas.14Eu am the good shepherd. I
know my sheep and they know me, 15assim as the Father knows me and I know the
Father I give my life for the sheep.16Tenho
have other sheep not of this fold: them also I must bring, they will hear my
voice, and there will be one flock and one shepherd.17E
why my Father loves me, because I lay down my life, and then receive it again.
18Ninguém
takes my life, I give of myself, I have power to lay it down and have power to
receive it again, this is the order I received from my Father.
"

BIGCUORE ´S REFLECTIONS: Beautiful, as always, the Bible readings, especially those of today.
Peter speaks of Jesus
as the "cornerstone".The
cornerstone for those unaware, is one that gives support in the cases of those
arched portals, especially in churches or in homes or commercial buildings.
It
is one stone that is right in the middle of the arc, giving support to the
entire wall. Therefore, of paramount importance.
The builders know this
very well!The Gospel of John tells us
the Good Shepherd. Jesus
is the good shepherd: the real one, who dies in defense of their flocks, looking
very carefully, especially by those weaker or underprivileged.It was just that, he came to do
on earth. If
incarnate by the Holy Spirit within Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, to
redeem our sins!"Look
at the cross, this is my big test," says the music of Valverde, Mexican
singer.And what we see
today, my brothers and sisters in Christ '. We
see many opportunists taking the sheep to the misery, taking them, to the penny,
making BARGAIN with God, to be "rich" to improve life.Of course, God bless his children!
This
will depend on the degree of experience in the faith and the degree of TUNING
with your project! And
also their level of Charity do, because as Paul says, "charity is the bond of
perfection." Without
charity, no one enters Paradise!Life is movement!. The universe is an
eternal and DAR RECEIVE!The more love you show people the
better! As
more and more seeds of kindness, gentleness, peace, joy, you distribute to their
fellows, the better! Your harvest
will be sure and abundant!Well, this works like a boomerang.
Bounces back to
yourself! The
universe follows its own logic, the laws of nature and
physics. THE MERCENARY COMES TO
STEAL!How
many "mercenaries" from day to day, rob us of peace and happiness? That
envy, jealousy, malice, finally, negative feelings that many people, especially
at work, to show you?Jesus is our model!.
He
is truly the Son of God, the Incarnate Word, the second person of the Trinity,
for God is a Trinitarian community of love: God the Father, Creator, God the
Son, Jesus Christ, the Word (word) Incarnate, the Redeemer, and God Holy Spirit, Sanctifier. This
is "misterium fidei," the mystery of faith!. "THE
GOOD SHEPHERD GIVES HIS LIFE FOR SHEEP" (v. 11)That's it! A holy and
happy Sunday to all my dear readers and readers! Peace,
prosperity, harmony and joy in their hearts!(*) the author is writer in São Paulo,Brazil. .Know his BLOG GOOD LIVING -BEM VIVER- http://antonibigcuore.blogspot.com (self, spirituality
